title: 2q35qter duplication syndrome: phenotypic definition.
abstract: Two sibs with multiple congenital anomalies and severe mental retardation were found to have a 2q35qter duplication as a result of a balanced maternal translocation. The clinical features of our two cases are compared with those reported in literature as having either a 2q35qter duplication or a wider duplicated segment without the involvement of any other chromosome deletion or duplication. The typical phenotype is described considering the characteristic clinical features as: hypotonia, hypertelorism, short and beaked nose, flat nasal bridge, thin upper lip, micrognathia, low set and dysmorphic ears, clinodactyly finger V and cryptorchidism.
